Da 100 anni, un mondo fatto bene

The Politecnico di Milano, Italy’s largest technical university, was founded on November 29, 1863, by mathematician and politician Francesco Brioschi. Modeled after German and Swiss polytechnics, it started as the Istituto Tecnico Superiore to drive Italy’s scientific, technological, and industrial development following national unification. It initially focused on civil and industrial engineering, with architecture added in 1865 in partnership with the Brera Academy of Fine Arts.

Originally located in the historic Collegio Elvetico, the university relocated in 1927 to its present main campus in the Città Studi district, despite setbacks from World War I. It was renamed Regio Politecnico di Milano in 1937 and removed the “Regio” designation after World War II.

Enrollment boomed in the postwar era, leading to new programs in nuclear engineering, electronics, aeronautics, and design. Notable alumni include Nobel laureate Giulio Natta and architect Renzo Piano. Today, with more than 47,000 students across several campuses, Politecnico di Milano ranks among Europe’s leading institutions in engineering, architecture, and design.

“Indians Playing Lacrosse on the Ice” 1934 Yale University Art Gallery

The literature for designing, building and maintaining sport and recreation related spaces in education settlements cuts across so many safety and sustainability risk aggregations that, starting 2024, we begin breaking up the topic according to four seasons; mindful that not all seasons are present in all settlements at all times of the year and in different age groups.

Volleyball at the high school level in the USA is a winter sport but a fall sport at the collegiate level.  Rifle and Fencing is only a collegiate sport.  Swimming “short course” (25 meter) competition is a winter sport depending upon regional facilities. (e.g. University of Southern California, University of North Carolina Wilmington, University of Michigan)

Join us today when we sort through the literature and any live public consultations on proposed changes to the most frequently referenced titles.

“…Hot cocoa and hot chocolate are terms that we often used interchangeably. Technically, hot cocoa and hot chocolate are as different as milk chocolate and bittersweet chocolate. Hot cocoa is made with cocoa powder, the way my mother made it when I was a kid. Hot chocolate is made from melting chocolate bars into cream…”

Drinking from My Saucer | John Paul Moore

I’ve never made a fortune and it’s probably too late now.
But I don’t worry about that much, I’m happy anyhow.
And as I go along life’s way, I’m reaping better than I sowed.
I’m drinking from my saucer, ‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

I don’t have a lot of riches, and sometimes the going’s tough.
But I’ve got loved ones around me, and that makes me rich enough.
I thank God for his blessings, and the mercies He’s bestowed.
I’m drinking from my saucer, ’Cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when things went wrong, my faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke, and the sun peeped through again.
So God, help me not to gripe about the tough rows that I’ve hoed.
I’m drinking from my saucer, ‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

If God gives me strength and courage, when the way grows steep and rough.
I’ll not ask for other blessings, I’m already blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy, to help others bear their loads.
Then I’ll keep drinking from my saucer, ‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

“Citius, Altius, Fortius”

John Williams composed the official theme for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City as a grand cantata-fanfare for orchestra and chorus, premiered by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Utah Symphony. The piece directly draws from the Olympic motto “Citius, Altius, Fortius”(“Faster, Higher, Stronger”), originally coined in Latin by modern Olympics founder Pierre de Coubertin in 1894, but rooted in the ancient Greek ethos of athletic excellence, striving, and human potential celebrated by authors like Pindar and Aristotle.

Williams opens with the choir emphatically chanting “Citius! Altius! Fortius!” repeatedly, building heroic orchestral swells to evoke triumphant effort and glory—mirroring ancient ideals of arete (virtue through competition) and pushing limits, as in Aristotle’s praise of those who act and compete rather than merely possess talent. He innovatively adds “Clarius” (“clearer”) in the finale, suggesting clarity of mind alongside physical prowess, extending the motto to encompass intellectual and spiritual elevation of The Games.
